A Sit-Down With Lucifer’s Banker, Brad Birkenfeld

In this explosive episode, Eric Green sits down with Bradley Birkenfeld, the iconic UBS whistleblower known worldwide as “Lucifer’s Banker.” Birkenfeld shares the inside story of how he exposed the largest tax-evasion scheme in history, triggered a global crackdown on secret offshore banking, and ultimately helped return $40 billion to U.S. taxpayers. He is also the author of the book Lucifer’s Banker Uncensored.
From his rise inside the elite world of Swiss private banking to the shocking discovery of a secret memo that revealed UBS was preparing to scapegoat its own bankers, Birkenfeld walks listeners through the high-stakes decisions that led him to blow the whistle and the stunning retaliation he faced from the U.S. Department of Justice.
